HOME OF THE GHOST GUM

Named after a wonderful old Gum tree on the farm, this new range of limited release wines were identified in the cellar as being of exceptional quality.

2002 saw the first Cabernet Sauvignon released under this label. It was made from our very best barrels of Cabernet Sauvignon that had spent 12 months in new French oak. These were then blended with small amounts of Merlot and Petit Verdot and put back into the new barriques for a total of thirty months.

A wine with great structure and finesse, tantalizing rich cassis flavours and firm ripe tannins that linger on the palate, it was awarded 4½ stars in the April 2005 edition of Wine Magazine and in the 2005 edition of “Platter”.
We were so delighted with this wine that we decided that the extra time spent in the cellar really had paid dividends and so we have just completed an extra barrel maturation cellar for future wines that will be sold under the “Ghost Gum” label.

Our 2003 Ghost Gum Cabernet Sauvignon is now available from the farm.
